Been going to this Chinese for 16yrs but I ordered a meal for delivery it took 1hour to arrive it was cold the chips looked like they were yesterday's, the curry was not the same overall a very poor experience and I don't think I will use them again .

This was my first time ordering here and unfortunately will be the last. Ordered the bbq ribs for starter and there was no flavour just bland. The mains- meats were a slimy texture, chips were soggy, and again minimal flavour. If the taste was as good as the portion sizes this would be a belting place. Really disappointed.

I’m quite sad to write this review but what was said to my family was unforgivable. We ordered a takeaway which arrived an hour later than it should. We could actually see the driver going to deliveries all around where we lived but not coming to us. When ut arrived I opened the bag of prawn crackers and commented to my family that they were rock hard. I put some of the fried rice onto my plate as did my daughter with her sweet and sour. It was freezing cold, we checked the ribs and chips they were the same. The only thing with any heat was the sausage which was for the dog. I had to use my daughters phone to ring and tell them, they offered to replace it and I agreed. But after waiting a while I rang back and said we will just have a refund and we will pack up the food to return it. The driver came didn’t have change so we were 80p down and he took the food. About three quarters of an hour later my daughter said someone had tried to ring her phone, please remember this is my daughter. The voicemail basically said”hi love this is Angie, for the people who ordered the takeaway you are a crowd of f******* scumbags, sending back half eaten food (how else were we to know it was cold if we hadn’t tried it?) don’t f****** come to my shop again, you f****** lowlifes, the sausage you returned was warm” As you can imagine I was stunned. I am not a f****** scumbag or lowlife. I am a hard working person who, due to the cost of living squeeze, has a limited amount free cash and I chose to treat my family with the spare that I have. The 32 pounds I spent on that takeaway is fours work and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a certain standard of warm food and good customer service. If it had been that we would never have complained, if you had received what we received that night in a restaurant they would have listened and been courteous. I can’t imagine and restaurant owner calling you a f****** scumbag/lowlife for giving them money and expecting good service. Angie will be glad to know we won’t be returning.

Been getting lee’s for awhile and when I get the same thing all the time and then they change price 3 times, robbed me twice and the order I just got come with 1 less can than I ordered and then ang the owner basically calls me a liar down the phone saying she “ definitely put 2 cans in the bag” then calls me back saying the driver also said there was 2 cans in the bag, obviously she’s going to agree with you. Ang you got kind of aggressive towards me on the phone telling me “ if I don’t like it don’t come back” I hope you don’t treat all your customers like that. Don’t worry I won’t be coming back and I’ll take a few of your customers with me. Absolutely disgusting!!! Half hour later I get my can and an apology so turns out I was right as are ALL CUSTOMERS!!

Always rated Lee's, staff are fantastic and generally food is good and good value for money. Whenever we have fancied a chippy tea or a chow mein & a fried rice dish, we have always come here, never left disappointed. However been again tonight after a couple of months since our last visit (we may not be an every week regular but have been ordering since we moved to darwen in 2010) and it was just a greasy mess! Fish just dripping with grease under the batter, chips a soggy greasy mess. Other half ordered same but with curry sauce, and they forgot to add the sauce. Kids meals were pretty much the same, though the dab wasn't greasy and was spot on! We pretty much just thrown the food out with the exception of the dab and have made sandwiches for tea. I do hope it was just a bad night and this isn't something that will continue as we look forward to a treat of a take out and I would hate for our favourite place to have to change, as there aren't many decent chippies nor Chinese takeaways in darwen.

Foods great, really friendly, reasonably priced and even offer gluten free options which is a god send for my partner. This is now our go to, highly recommend.

Food is lovely, however the customer service when I have called due to a missing item has been an absolute abomination. Order was placed at 5pm and delivered 40 minutes later. However, then an item was missing and they advised they would send it up. Called back an hour later to be told that they will send it back up when they have the chance as they are mega busy. They persisted to put the phone down on me. I understand that they are busy, but they weren’t to busy to take my money and tip.

I have not tried the Cantonese menu, although I hear good comments from my family who have tried it. The English Chippy food is average at best. Always very bland and tasteless. The fish is always good quality and it's apparent that care is taken to prepare it. A little work on the other english dishes would go a long way to improving this local take out.

Recently introduced to Lees by a friend. Nothing to fault! Staff are really nice. Service is fast. Top ingredients and cooked healthily. None of the colourless and flavourless fried rice so often found in takeaways now! Quantity for price us amazing and no need to keep a glass of water close by to couhteract the salt. Will definitely continue using.

I've found hair in my food, they have got my order wrong near enough every time now. Meaning having Togo back to get it changed. Plus the quality of food just isn't what it was anymore. We have stuck to this place to see if it was just a bad period , but just getting worse every time. Unfortunately as much as we use to love it we have had to find somewhere else now.
